3/4 to 1.5oz Spro bucktail in chartreuse/white tipped with a Gulp pearl white 4" swim mullet.

ALSO A 1OZ SPRO CHARTRUSE OR PINK/WHITE WITH A CLOUSER FLY ON 12 INCHES OF LEADER FROM A DROPPER. SPRO TIPPED WITH SQUID OR BELLY AND FLY DRAGGING THE SAME OR 1-2 SPEARING

Her's my .02:

Bucktails:
Tie a barell swivel into a small dropper loop with one side twice as long as the other. Use an appropriate sized bucktail on the long end and a 4/0 Owner cutting point on the short end. Tie your line to the swivel and put some bait or pink FinS or Gulp on the owner. I like the high hook in case there's a hungy weakie luking around. Catch fluke on top too.

Bait:
2 to four oz required:
Three way swivel with 20lb floro going to a 3/0 wide gap fluke hook on one end. A 3" to 4" length on 60lb line with an end loop. Put an appropriate sized "fluke ball" baited with squid on the loop. I feel the line instead on a snap gives the ball a little more action.

Over 4oz:
Traditional 3 way rig with a sinker snap.

I would have to say...

Chart/white or all white bucktail jig with a chartreuese or white 4" Gulp! Swimming Mullet (nose hooked).

I also add in a chart, white or pink bucktail teaser about 12" up the line with another Swimming Mullet attached to it.  Sometimes I fish the teaser on a short 6" leader.  Sometimes with a longer 36" leader to trail behind the jig.

When Bucktail Bob fishes for fluke on my boat I always wear my darkest sunglasses. That's the only way I can see with all the brightness given off by his chartreuse minnows.

I'm waiting to hear the Broken One's answer to this.

three way with bucktail (or sinker)on 24-36" leader.

i have been putting more effort into bucktailing this year after reading the success stories, and fished correctly no doubt will put fish in the boat.

some others i fish with have not warmed to the idea yet, and they still prefer the 3way rig but i have more fun bucktailing

In the past three years we went strictly bucktailing with the teaser a foot up. Without question this has resulted in much larger fish.

I started tying 1/2 ounce bucktails and fish a double bucktail rig

The 1/2 ounce acts as the teaser

More work but there is nothing better then a big fluke smacking the top hook

The fish Market.. its easy to buy the shorts then fish for a Keeper

[Hotrod]

This has been a very hot topic..  anyone care to revisit it and maybe post up some images..

[BigAl13]

will do

[Fisherman120]

Tie on a bucktail/jighead and add a dropper loop anywhere from 6-15 inches above it, see what you like best regarding distance... I prefer more distance between the jig and dropper on a slow drift, and will close the gap between them on a faster drift. Whether 5 feet or water or 100 feet I won't use anything else.

My teaser is short and high, usually.

24-36" above the bucktail; 12-24" long

remember, I'm a hack tho
